Discover the charm and architectural significance of this classic mid-century William Krisel-designed home in Sandpiper Palm Desert. Ideally located just steps from the fine shopping and dining on El Paseo, and close to scenic hiking trails and bike paths, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 2, 015 square feet of living space in a quiet, private setting at the back of the community. Enjoy the best of desert living with lush greenbelts and panoramic mountain views. Original architectural details--breeze block accents, tongue-and-groove wood plank ceilings, and signature block walls--create an authentic mid-century atmosphere. The home features double-pane sliders throughout, two spacious private patios, and a third patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped common area--perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The oversized primary suite opens to a large private patio and includes an ensuite bath with dual vanities, a Roman tub, and a generous walk-in closet. Two guest rooms offer comfort and flexibility for family or visitors. A newer foam roof, redone approximately three years ago, adds peace of mind and energy efficiency. While the home retains much of its original charm, it's ready for your personal touch and creative vision. Sandpiper Circle 3 holds official historic designation with the City of Palm Desert and qualifies for the Mills Act program, which can provide a significant reduction in property taxes. With no rental restrictions, this property also offers excellent potential as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment opportunity. One reserved carport space is conveniently located near the front door.
